GTA Delayed til Q2 2008???

[shams]

I think this hurts the 360/PS3 equally. Both Sony/MS want to sell systems - and this title would have done that on both platforms.

Although MS has "more to lose" (more 360's will sell for GTA), this could hurt Sony just as badly - if not worse.

MS now has a high profile, AAA title for start of next year - to counter MGS.

And if UT3/Haze are delayed (no reason to doubt), that does leave a big gap in the PS3 schedule.

PS3, September:

 -  Heavenly Sword, SingStar, Lair, Burnout, Dirt, Warhawk

PS3, October:

 - Half-Life2, GH3, Fifa, Folklore, New Tony Hawk, (Turok?)

PS3, November:

 - Assassins Creed, Army of Two, Rachet & Clank, MOH, NFS, Timeshift, Time Crisis(PS3 only?), WWE Smackdown, Simpsons

PS3, December:

 - .....?

Devil May Cry? Tekken 6? Call of Duty 4? Uncharted (release date?)

----------------------------

In short - with this Xmas looking like the biggest ever, there are still plenty of titles coming out for the PS3 - even without GTA. It just moves some of the battleground to next year.

But no question that the 360 now has more big names/established (exclusive) titles coming out:

 - Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock, PGR4
